The additional demands of the pandemic and 2021 Census required the ONS to expand its operations and headcount significantly. We have now returned to a sustainable long-term operating model that prioritises the economic and population statistics for which the ONS is best-known. That includes world-leading innovation in the use of data as well as good progress on survey responses; an issue affecting most of our peers internationally.
